Oasis of Stars


 Masked behind enraging cacophony,
    sand dunes bathed in paranoia of fears,
     nascent pearls of silver seashells
        bubble through exuberant oasis,
         flickering candles give me a sign,
        divine symphony floats in night air,
         whispering mystic melodies of hope,
           light my heart with unwavering faith
 
 Oh so pious my lilac unfiltered wishes
drip through the crevices of my dreams,
then freeze under lost desert in whirlpool 
 until the lavender song of love melts them,
  they shine and fuse in the universe again
    through rising wisps of aromatic breeze

     Wrapped by an enchanting rhapsody,
           honeyed drizzles echo my song of peace,
        my whispers float on the oceans of clouds,
              and drench the world in shooting stars
